Dental education and Training

Dentistry continues to change, particularly because of the advances in clinical dentistry, materials and technology. These changes offer opportunities for both patients and dental practices alike. Dental education provides the most current information available on a wide variety of topics using traditional teaching methods, from new techniques, materials and technology to innovative practice solutions. Today, there is no reason for anyone in dentistry to complain about being bored, unproductive or at a plateau. Dental Training Provides an interesting insight into the treatments that students consider to be 'specialist' in nature, identifies students  interests in respect of further training and potential barriers to undertaking formal specialist training pathways and reflects undergraduate student opinions with regards to styles of teaching they prefer.
